>> well, they did not have a very good election cycle in 2012. they had a much better one in 2010 and there's a sense of whether or not karl rove, american crossroads, has the credibility to issue threats to more conservatives not to get in. the other thing, can they raise the money to defeat republicans? one thing to ask wealthy republicans to raise money to defeat democratic candidates in the general election and another thing to pony up money to defeat conservative republicans in the primary. >> we saw with todd akin, an enormous swell of pressure for him to drop autoand he obviously went on to lose and stood in defiance against the establishment and he didn't have a lot of money or clout. >> one of the things that we have seen over past four years and past two election cycles is being seen as the establishment kapd date or part of the establishment is more problematic than an outsider and this is true some times with republican politics or democratic politics. you don't want to be stuck as a person of the political machine and there's a poten

many thought that there would be talks as soon as the election -- the presidential election was over, but we're obviously nearly three months out from that, and nothing has happened. there's discussion something might happen by the end of february. now, they're up against a couple of different deadlines here. one of them is the question of when iran will have enough of its sort of medium enriched uranium that it could race for a bomb. remember when prime minister net hur came to the u.n., he had that big sort of cartoonish version of a bomb, and the red line that he drew you would think the iranians would probably reach by the end of the spring or early summer, but the other big deadline here is that in june the iranians have their own elections, and i think many in the administration are concerned that if they can't strike a deal fairly quickly and there's no indication that they would be able to, that it would get stuck in the election politics there where no one in iran would want to be looking like they're making any concessions to the west. >> at the same time we're all watching

it happened in the off-year elections back in 2010. americans thought democrats went too far to the left, and they punished them and to almost historic proportions in that election. but 2012, republicans got punished because they were the party of todd akin instead of the party of colin powell. they were the party of richard mourdock instead of the party of george h.w. bush. he wanted nothing to do with except that a guy like powell is necessary if you're going have two wings. chris, we've lost five out of the last six popular votes in presidential races. and a lot of the reason why is because we've had a lot of discord voices to the extreme that first left the democratic party because they became too extreme starting in 1968. >> let's talk about the leadership issue. let's take something like the gun issue. i think the gun issue is very tough. i am despondent to the point of believing there are so many guns in existence right now, i don't know how you stop the water fall that's been going on for generations. wayne lapierre, he took so
